Full 'The Big Match' programme with Brian Moore. West Ham v Leeds - Commentary by Brian Moore Ipswich v Derby - Commentary by Gerry Harrison Nottingham Forest v Newcastle - Commentary by Hugh Johns
Really enjoyed this episode. Top class action.. Cooper, Giles, Clarke, Madely, Brooking, Hurst. A bust-up with Big Jack. And wasn't Ian Storey Moore a class act ? Super commentary by Moore and Hugh Johns. And evocative analysis by Jimmy Hill (and Big Jack). I could watch the 70-71 season Big Match all day long. More please.
Ipswich fan here…brought back a few memories. Geoff Hammond was one of the worst players we ever had and Mick Hill was better known for his shagging than football prowess. Always great to see Colin Viljoen
For those wondering about the Blackpool incident, Moore and Greaves had been on a bender before a League Cup match. Many suspensions followed and many argue that Moore was never the same player
FA Cup match, actually, and it involved Brian Dear and Clyde Best as well. I think the four thought the game was going to be called off due to icy conditions, so they went out. But it went ahead. WHU lost 4-0 and looked terrible. Ron Greenwood was going to sack them all,, but was persuaded to suspend and fine them two weeks wages, though Brian Dear and Jimmy Greaves didn't play many more games for the Irons. Bobby did stay until '74 but the relationship with Ron wasn't the same as before. Clyde Best stayed longer till '75.
